This course is for those who have an innovative mind, creative vision, are self-motivated and 100% committed to fashion. Sign up for this fashion degree and you will be joining an internationally- recognized course that challenges you to think creatively and conceptually. Underpinned by a strong sense of commercial understanding and guided by lecturers with a wealth of industry experience, you will choose to specialize in women's wear, menswear or textiles and knitwear.  This four-year sandwich course has an established reputation for producing directional designers with the creative vision and the commercial realism to begin a career within the Fashion sector. You will learn how to challenge the conventions of contemporary fashion through design research and critical reflection, set against the study of traditional values of high craftsmanship that underpin garment-making such as haute couture and tailoring. We'll help you to identify a personal fashion design philosophy through drawing and illustration, developing artisan craft skills, pattern cutting and constructing knitted fabrics and textiles. All this will be supported by contextual fashion studies and critical thinking to enable you to situate your own practice in the context of past and current design practice.
